   Thanks for the thought Skyler. Every other venue in Bartow serving liquor would have been double the price just for admission. Or far worse. The list of consistent contributors left in the county is slight too, according to VB. We’ll likely try one a bit later on closer to home, but for the moment, this looked like a chance at a nice, quick kick start. There’s really not many venues in Bartow that are fairly suitable & as easy to get to as well.

   So thanks to all who came out despite the heat & the usual busy schedules of this time of year. Yes we did have homemade brownies which were a big hit too. It was good to see old friends who dropped on by to chat & help out. Juliana herself showed up late, but with a movie script tale to tell. Some things discussed Besides the usual politicking Sturm und Drang? Symphony orchestras. Fundraising (‘natch). Guns. Candidates in the cross hairs. NATO conferences & (school) funding derived from same. Why we keep on running Santa Claus with the same lack luster results.

   We got to meet the ever stylish Adrienne Hunter-Strothers (candidate for Ga. Court of Appeals) once again, as Bernita brought her by. She escaped just in time from the clutches of one of the entourage of Jerry Nally who was about to regale her with some very unusual and highly idiosyncratic 19th century interpretations of what might be done with a modern Grand Jury. A very fortunate thing, that near miss! But thanks again for the notice here & help elsewhere. Every little bit counts. We can count on you Skyler to help out with the next one too, right? JMP

   Wouldn’t it be wise to have events for Bartow Democratic candidates in Bartow County? Just sayin’..and I mean this question in respectful, suggestive way..

   “And what was wrong with the old DA?”
   Long story and not for public consumption.

   Doh! Billy Joe Shaver. Can’t uncover my old albums either. The ’78’s are on top… JMP

   If anything he’s gotten more squirrelier and more self important since then Jen. But I also imagine it’s the way of all flesh in politics too. And what was wrong with the old DA? Still as crafty as ever but fairly serviceable. It all reminds me of this old Billie Joe Shaver song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1v-p7-kFBs&feature=related

   Ga. politics. As crazy as it ever was, since time began… JMP

   Heh. I supported Coomer for DA in ’08. See! If he had won then, he wouldn’t have a shot at the House.

   Stark choices there. And I can no longer read my screen well, quickly. Ah, the wonders of aging. JMP

   Thanks Jen, We’ll need luck & money too, ‘natch. But as predicted Christian Coomer did win the HD14 run-off on the GOP side. So it’s as start as the choices get in the state with the full line ups. We’ve got a chance to take out plenty of big but otherwise completely useless rigidly doctrinaire fish. JMP

    Little known fact: I used to work up in ol’ Bartow County. I wish these candidates the best of luck!

    Thanks so much here Juliana for the pass along. I’m reliably informed that we’ve got brownies already baked in anticipation here too. Which might even be a first, I don’t know. Thanks again! JMP
